Wreckers Swim Across the Sound
June 28, 2011 by Editor ·
For the second year in a row, Staples Swimming has created a relay team that will Swim Across the Sound.
On August 6, 2011, five current and past Staples swimmers will participate in St. Vincent’s Hospital’s Swim Across the Sound, swimming 15.5 miles to raise money to support cancer patients.
Last year, the Staples team placed 14th with a four-person team and raised over $10,000. This year, the team has expanded to five swimmers who hope to beat both those achievements.
The Staples Swim Across the Sound team includes:
- Verity Abel
- Gabrielle Wimer
- Joss Abel
- Laurence Abel
- Kyle Bacon
The Staples team will swim in honor of Masato Sakaguchi – the four-year-old brother of Fairfield swimmers Miki, Tomoya, Toshi, and Miku — who passed away last July after a two-year battle with brain cancer. The Staples swimmers hope that one day children like Masato will be able to beat their cancer. That is why they ask you to support them. They would greatly appreciate any donation that you can make (no amount is too small).
